Lafford, Barbara A.; Lafford, Peter A.; Sykes, Julie – CALICO Journal, 2007
Despite the problems presented by lexical errors in second language (L2) communication, most computer assisted language learning (CALL) programs tend to focus on the acquisition of grammar points rather than on the development of the L2 lexicon. In addition, CALL vocabulary tasks are typically limited in scope and mechanical in nature, covering…

Dunne, James J. – 1984
The use and effectiveness of gaming techniques in educational computer software was investigated through an analysis of 170 in-depth evaluations of commercially-available educational computer programs. These evaluations, conducted by the Educational Products Information Exchange (EPIE) Institute, dealt with design attributes relevant to all…

Burgmeier, James W.; Kost, Larry L. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1993
Describes the implementation of a computer projection system for medium to small classrooms at the University of Vermont. Requirements for the system are discussed, including ease of use, compatibility, software, and network capabilities; and selection decisions for the computer, the projection system, and the support equipment are explained.…

Waldrop, Phillip B. – Educational Technology, 1984
Reviews possible sources of reinforcement in computer assisted instruction and systematic utilization of these sources in courseware design. Sources reviewed include reinforcement from the machine itself; from the content of the instructional modules and its arrangement in a learning sequence; and from sources external to the modules. (MBR)

Shabo, Amnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1997
Discusses how to design courseware programs that integrate benefits of instructionism (linear instruction) and constructionism in a hypermedia structure. A model of feedback that fades in and out is suggested, four examples are explained, and suggestions for redesigning programs are given. (LRW)

Hativa, Nira – AEDS Journal, 1984
Argues that software for electronic boards should address a variety of teaching styles, student abilities and ages, class textbooks, teaching objectives, and learning environments for flexibility of use. The software features that contribute to flexibility include frequent stops, options for going backwards, inter- and intra-unit jumps, and…

Boling, Elizabeth; King, Kira S.; Avers, Dale; Hsu, Yu-Chen; Lee, Jiunde; Frick, Ted – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1996
Discusses navigation in instructional hypertext programs and describes two preliminary studies that investigated concrete versus abstract representations for backward navigation. Topics include representation and hypermedia sign systems; and consistency in the forms designers use for navigation buttons. (LRW)

Wilson, Brent G. – 1985
Computer based instruction (CBI) is composed of individual frames viewed one at a time. Compared to a typical textbook, CBI restricts the adult learner's capacity to access information from different parts of the lesson and to view complex presentations. Designers of CBI must compensate for these limitations by making a concerted effort to…

Woodward, Arthur – 1984
The content and quality of the documentation and teachers guides that accompanied 55 educational microcomputer software programs were examined, to determine whether the technical and pedagogical information provided by such guides enabled teachers to fully exploit the instructional potential of the programs. The courseware covered basic elementary…

Cramer, Stephen E. – 1984
In early computer assisted instruction (CAI), negative feedback often insulted students and/or provided no useful knowledge. In classroom settings, teachers use the following approaches in dealing with students' wrong answers: (1) ask the question again, louder and slower; (2) ask the question again, using different words; (3) back up and reteach…

Rambally, Gerard K.; Rambally, Rodney S. – Computers and Education, 1987
Identifies human factor issues involved in the student-computer interface in computer assisted instruction and makes specific recommendations for screen design. Factors considered include simplicity, spaciousness, relevance, standardization, changing display screen contents, color coding, shape and size coding, and brightness coding. (Author/LRW)

Burrowes, Sharon; Burrowes, Ted – 1985
This booklet is designed to help users understand the skills and concepts needed to develop effective computer assisted instruction (CAI) programs in any computer language and to polish and extend BASIC language programming skills. It assumes some idea of CAI and some BASIC programming (but not fluency), and can be used for self-study, in a…

Smith, Patricia L.; Boyce, Barbara Ann – Educational Technology, 1984
Briefly describes stages of the systematic design process for educational software including learning goals identification; considering medium suitability; developing performance objectives, criterion-referenced tests, and instructional strategies; and product evaluation and dissemination. Events of instruction are discussed in detail as they…

Keegan, Mark – Educational Technology, 1993
Describes the development of educational computer software called scenario software that was designed to incorporate advances in cognitive, affective, and physiological research. Instructional methods are outlined; the need to change from didactic methods to discovery learning is explained; and scenario software design features are discussed. (24…
